So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Work Of An Interior Decorator

By Michael Frank


The basic traits required in an interior decorator are the ability to coordinate an entire home or commercial building and an artistic flair. These abilities are required if one is to create an ambient atmosphere in the home or place of business. Education serves to develop these skills and teach her to explore other avenues pertinent to the profession.

Someone can be licensed in many states. First she must obtain a formal education. A four year program is available in a number of accredited colleges. This will let clients know she is qualified to work for them in a professional capacity.

Designers and decorators are titles that are interchangeable. They do the same work in both commercial and residential buildings. Each has the requisite knowledge and good taste to create an appropriate setting that conforms to what the client wants to have.

When a private residence is going to be refurbished, the first step is a consultation with the homeowner. It is his or her taste that must be expressed regardless of what the designer thinks is best. It takes a serious investment of time and talent to complete each project. Each job presents new challenges and possibilities.

Paint colors, wallpaper, carpeting and draperies are all included in the overall job. They must be coordinated in a way that is attractive. In a new construction furniture, appliances and accessories will be selected as well. For an existing house, she may search for a purchase antiques and other items.

Each homeowner will set a budget for expenditures to purchase materials and hire painters, carpet installers and other tradesmen. The entire house may be coordinated with all the rooms blending together in one theme. Alternatively, one or more rooms may be unique in color and decor. This could be a family room that the interior decorator is asked to design in contrast to the rest of the rooms.
